Two years ago, the company Sporten in the Czech Republic came to us and asked whether we could kit out their test team and athletes with our clothing. We then came up with the idea of trading apples for pears – or more specifically, clothing for cross-country skis.
Tracksuit bottoms in general were huge in the 1980s, but the really sought-after models had stitched pleats.
Maloja was founded 15 years ago on the concept of combining function and style. Our goal was and is to this day to ensure you to feel comfortable in your bike gear after a ride, whether at a café or beer garden. Therefore, we were the first brand in mountain biking to offer both skin-tight cycling bibs and cool, relaxed riding shorts.
When Peter Räuber and Klaus Haas made the decision in 2004 to found their own sports and streetwear brand, they had a vision: To connect work and life. To build a company where values such as respect and fairness play a pivotal role. To link function with style. And, last but not least, to go their own way.
Hemp is one of the oldest utilitarian crops in the world. Its fibres were used to make ropes and sails for Columbus, paper for Gutenberg’s Bible and clothing for humans long before we even had calendars. After the 1950s, hemp sort of slipped into obscurity, but interest has grown steadily in recent years because there is virtually no other natural material that has such a positive ecological balance while still providing such outstanding functional qualities.

When we hear the word “down” we often think of grandma’s duvet: cuddly, warm, cosy, but sometimes we think of it as a bit too heavy.
Every year, the brand Maloja reinvents itself. The result is a fresh collection theme which forms the base for the designs of the summer and winter collections.
Of course, it is most beautiful outside. But sometimes do not call the mountains, but the office. So that you can also enjoy a nice view from the desk, we have put together a few screen backgrounds for you.
We feel most at home in the mountains, but for many of us the city is where we live. At our Flagship stores you will find nearly all styles and colours from our current collection. Good coffee and friendly conversations await your visit and if your lucky, quite possibly a bike ride.
Each day our employees spend a lot of time working at our office and this is why we believe that a warm, welcoming atmosphere is imperative.
Maloja is a small clothing brand located in South Germany in Bavaria. Is it because we are closer to the limits of the sky, or due to the elemental forces that created the mountains millions of years ago? Possibly it is the feeling of freedom created by the breathtaking views atop of the world. Whatever the reason may be, the power of mountains is forever present. Their power is addictive, contagious and they leave you feeling fulfilled as their energy stretches far beyond the mountains themselves.
